- [Invidious](https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=caU0RG0mNHg) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caU0RG0mNHg) TL;DW: Nvidia's RTX 5050 is a waste of your time, money, and trust as a tech consumer and PC gamer. Please consider buying a used GPU on Ebay, Kijiji, or anywhere else you can as you will get a much better deal than this. As a monopoly with 92% marketshare, Nvidia is actively choosing to deceive consumers to buy whatever they're selling.

Are you fucking serious?

Ah yes Sony, the company famous for being reasonable and of sound mind body and spirit.

Oh wait actually:

fedilink

The tweet was specifically talking about their $299 card that also has a 16Gb version. OP is shitstirring for clicks.

This is one of the most uninformed comments I’ve read so far.


I shared this vid to try and spread awareness that Frank Azor, AMD’s Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions and Gaming Marketing, of whom made that needless badfaith comment as it holds back the advancement of gaming.

AMD’s 9060XT 16GB ($350) released recently but we’ve yet to see if they’re able to provide them to consumers at AMD’s own stated MSRP price of $350 USD; something that was unmet in their previous launch.


For PC building, you walk around this show Computex and talk to case manufacturers and cooler manufacturers, and they’ll sync up their launches to Nvidia GPU launches cause they don’t sell things in between at the same velocity. And so if Nvidia launches a GPU and the interest falls off a cliff because people just feel like they either can’t get a card or they get screwed if they get a card, it I think actively damages the hobby.

I remember even when the RTX 3070 came out and I gave that a positive review I said it was a great value product because by all metrics/measurements that we had at the time it was a good product. We had very few examples that we could point to where 8 gigabytes wasn’t enough. Of course the competing card the upcoming competing card we knew had a 16 GB vram buffer so; it/that doesn’t necessarily make that a valid thing. Like it can be like if you had a 32GB buffer now on that product, you’d be like “Well it’s got enough vram”. It’s probably nothing.

But because we did see, and even when you were looking at like dedicated used vram, a lot of games like 7, 7 and a ½GB [usage of vram increasing]. So you could see it creeping up over the years from like 4, 5, 6, 7; you could see where it was trending right? Which is why I always find it funny when people [say] “Why are we using more than 8 now? Like 8 should be enough”.

  • First quote paragraph from Steve Burke of Gamers Nexus, second and third quote paragraph from Steve Walton of Hardware Unboxed
  • Is Nvidia Damaging PC Gaming? feat. Gamers Nexus
  • if you replace Nvidia’s name in the provided quotes with AMD it still holds the same force in that AMD would ruin the gaming landscape for the benefit of only themselves at the cost of literally everyone else.

Clicks literally has no value to me as what I care about the most is trying to inform gamers so that people aren’t exploited by badfaith actors, especially hardware manufacturers as they dictate the limitations that game developers must work within. I’m not paid or affiliated with any of the hardware manufacturers.

shitstirring for clicks

“Shitstirring for clicks” literally does nothing for me. It would actually be detrimental for my reputation if I were to do so.


No one should get a free pass if behaving badly. If Nvidia acts poorly they should be called out. Same for AMD, same for Intel. 0 exceptions.

Please consider watching the video first before reading the spoilered comments that was made as I was watching it.

It’s pretty crazy what Thermalright’s achieved.

Tap for spoiler

Prediction as I progress through the video:

  • provided that their production remains high with sustained market saturation; Thermalright might eventually trigger the collapse and consolidation of both air and liquid CPU cooler markets in addition to potentially the computer case market.
Tap for spoiler Edit 1

Good gods…
Trying to describe just how I feel is difficult. I feel both amazed and horrified simutaneously.
Thermalright’s about to flood the manufacturing market.

How many factories does Thermalright own?
This is unprecedented levels of manufacturing.

Tap for spoiler Edit 2

ah they own all of the prerequisite items for the entire assembly process, alright I now understand how they can actually afford to do all of this

Tap for spoiler Edit 3

The other currently existing manufacturers will have to compete and maybe even consider working together as they could otherwise be pushed out of the market and be out of a job.

  • as such this currrent environment should ensure lower prices for customers. The current cooler and case ecosystem is 💯% in the customer’s favor in terms of options and prices.

btw with Thermalright’s expansive product launch I would highly recommend waiting for product reviews before buying anything that was mentioned as currently there’s no reason to believe that stock would dry up so quickly.

Clickbait title.

TL;DW:
ASRock mobos are exhibiting dynamic SOC voltage fluctuations which may be causing damage to 9000 series CPUs due to demanding too high power draw in a short amount of time.

The fix may be in changing the “SOC OC” mode from auto to disable in UEFI settings.

  • long term fix will be an AGESA/UEFI update from ASRock if this is the primary source of problems.

- [Invidious](https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=Sq0VRBAqnU4) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq0VRBAqnU4) --- If Cooler Master's able to get their yields above 50% and the thermal reduction in CPU cooling is realized in their final product, this could introduce quite a revolution in CPU cooling for consumer/gamer PCs. btw side note: QMax/Qmax is the maximum quantity of heat that can be absorbed at the conductive surface of the cooler while the cooler operates at its optimal rated efficiency. So according to their white paper, we could potentially see a 50W increase from their prior cooler designs which would be quite significant if realized.

oh wait I think I misunderstood when I made my other comment.

Sorry about that! Although I’m having some difficulty in interpreting your points.🤔


I don’t know if kid saving lunch money to build a computer is a viable route anymore

for sure. It’s gonna suck ass for a lot of Americans.


For the rest of your comment I’m gonna add that the tariff situation benefits retailers the most while manufactures and OEMs are taking the brunt of the tariff financial damage and ultimately the tariffs are then passed onto the customers unfortunately.

Some companies might implode or move out of the US it looks like.


Not sure if this fits here as while the tariffs situation are primarily causing chaos and price inflations in the US, the redirection of goods might also cause companies to increase costs globally in order to cover the cash flow burdens and payments caused by real time tariff fluctations.

If I recall correctly I remember hearing from Level1Techs that Nvidia’s been having issues also on their enterprise solutions having thermal runaway problems and so other B2B companies are looking at AMD and ARM solutions instead.


Amazing Nvidia, here’s how I feel about your products so far:

I’d imagine this is the case mostly due to the barriers to entry for console development still being high such as:

  • SDK licensing fees
  • requiring dev kits (whereas PCs and laptops can be acquired for reasonable prices from the junk shop to Ebay, and big box retailers)
  • you need experienced console developers (unless you pay someone to port your game)

I could be wrong though


“The exact reason for this jump is unclear, but it could be connected to the rising popularity of Valve’s Steam Deck,” the GDC report says. “This year’s survey didn’t single out Steam (or Valve’s handheld gaming computer) as its own platform, because it’s a hub for PC and Mac games. But it appears some developers do view it as a unique platform. For instance, when asked to name other platforms that interest them, almost half (44%) wrote in Steam Deck.”

I think that’s a very reasonable guess, and I’d add to it that the simple fact of accessibility may also play a very large role in the popularity of PC as a development platform. Making games is hard, but doing it on PC is about as easy as it’s going to get: Learn your programming language of choice, give Valve 100 bucks, and bang, you’re selling your stuff on Steam.

I mean I like using FlorisBoard as it has fairly frequent updates. If you enjoy using Heliboard that’s also fair.

Almost like the post got brigades by astroturfers shilling FlorisBoard. At the time it didn’t even have autocorrect or other basic features. It felt like the Twilight zone.

Now, I don’t trust anyone who recommends it because it had literally no features over an already established keyboard like HeliBoard, yet a entire post of evangelists coming out of the woodwork. Makes no sense.

Please don’t make this a tribal/team camp thing. Bashing other projects is quite disgusting and offensive especially without any real reason.

Again if you enjoy Heliboard that’s cool, just don’t diss and talk down additional FOSS projects. The FOSS ecosysten is different from the traditional proprietary ecosystem like Microsoft and Oracle.



oh uhh I used the sprout emoji from FlorisBoard to symbolize growth.

Are FOSS apps inherently for newbs?

not really sure how to answer this as Free Open Source Software (FOSS) apps are just more trustworthy than proprietary apps.

It mostly depends on the development age of the project.

Being brutally honest FOSS apps that are:

  • Newer tend to be more clunky and are harder to trust because the dev might be inexperienced and might not continue development.
  • Older might have some crust but are more trustworthy as the dev is likely to polish and iron out any cruft.

So “Are FOSS apps inherently for newbs?” is kinda hard to answer.

If instead I was asked: “Is x FOSS app easier to use than y proprietary app?” this I could probably give you a more definitive satisfactory answer.


fair enough although I’m more interested in FOSS🌱 apps rather than proprietary and especially Google🗑️ apps


I have this plus several other features like shifting left and right on the spacebar with FlorisBoard

Edit:
Finished watching the review and gods… Asus this is the most pathetic display of a half-assed prebuilt in existence. At this point I have to wonder if they just hooked up an assembly line to chatgpt or something cause this infuriatingly awful.

Fuck you Asus.

Your poor attempts only lowers the bar for the PC industry. At this point no one should buy any of your products just like NZXT’s.


[Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNxHEj9PKoY) Driving Gamers Nexus to title "Worst prebuilt so far" jesus Asus what have you done?
fedilink

Think of it like a race:

Whoever is last is considered lagging behind as consumers will generally shift towards the best competitors.

If Corsair is actually doing right by consumers (especially when it could be a real monopoly like the current anime and manga industry) and raises the minimum bar then we should praise them.

If a person is doing right by others, shaming and attacking them defeats the purpose of trying to make society more ethical.


Corsair’s i500 response:

First, we’ve ceased production of this SKU and no longer offer it, as it does not meet our performance standards.

For customers who already have an i500 with the Intel Core i9 14900k and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and are unhappy with the product, we will offer a couple of different solutions.

Solutions:

One is to return the unit for a full refund, no questions asked.

Second, should you want to keep the unit, and you are unsatisfied with how it performs, we will have something for you, also.

To bring the CPU power level down to better fit within the cooling envelope, we will be offering a BIOS revision that allows you to set the processor to the power and performance usage of a 14900 (non-K) CPU, providing more options for adjusting the cooling modes. We also will offer a rebate to customers who choose this option to match the pricing of the new 14900 (non-K) model. Simply contact our customer service.

Looks like Corsair is pulling ahead in terms of good, high quality customer support.
Thank fuck cause ASUS is severely lagging behind in this aspect.


I’ve truncated the quotes to provide the most critical info but I would highly recommend watching the video when you can! 🤗
